Historical data suggests that April is a favorable month for the S&P 500, particularly following a challenging March. Analysts note that when the S&P 500 declines by more than 3% in March, it has historically ended April higher every time since World War II, with an average increase of nearly 6%. The S&P 500 experienced a decline of over 6% last month, indicating potential for a rebound in April despite anticipated volatility. Additionally, the first day of April has shown positive performance in 21 of the last 30 years. Further supporting this trend, April has been noted as the second strongest month for S&P 500 performance over the past 50 years, averaging a return of approximately 1.7% and showing positive results 72% of the time, second only to November. This month’s performance may also benefit from the removal of 'Liberation Day' tariffs, which could further contribute to a rally.
